Position Summary
We are seeking a Civil / Structural Drafter with strong skills in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit for a temp-to-permanent role focused on water/wastewater and structural support projects. The successful candidate will support engineers in preparing detailed drawings and models for contractor delegated designs, excavation support, and retaining wall structures, with the opportunity to transition to a full-time permanent position based on performance.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare plans, profiles, sections, and details for water and wastewater facilities, pipelines, and associated site work using AutoCAD and Civil 3D.
- Develop structural drawings and 3D models in Revit for excavation support systems (e.g., soldier pile and lagging, sheet piling, bracing) and permanent retaining walls.
- Produce contractor delegated design drawings for items such as pipe support systems, anchorage details, and miscellaneous structural components based on engineer calculations and sketches.
- Create and maintain coordinated civil and structural models and drawing sets for treatment plants, pump stations, and related infrastructure.
- Incorporate redlines and field markups from engineers and contractors into construction drawings quickly and accurately.
- Maintain drawing standards, templates, and file organization for water/wastewater and structural support projects.
- Coordinate with engineers, project managers, and contractors to clarify design intent and ensure constructible and clear drawings.
Required Qualifications
- 2+ years of civil and/or structural drafting experience supporting infrastructure or building projects.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and Civil 3D for site, grading, and utility layout drawings.
- Experience using Revit to develop structural or building-related models and sheets.
- Ability to interpret structural details, schedules, and reinforcement requirements for retaining walls and support-of-excavation systems.
- Strong understanding of construction document standards, including linework, layers, dimensions, and annotation.
- High attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience drafting for water/wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, and large-diameter pipelines.
- Experience with excavation support and retaining wall projects, including soldier piles, sheet piles, soil nails, or mechanically stabilized earth walls.
- Familiarity with contractor delegated design workflows and coordination with fabricators or specialty contractors.
- Associate degree or technical diploma in drafting, CAD/BIM technology, civil engineering technology, or related field.
Employment Details
- Job Type: Temp-to-Perm (contract-to-hire), with evaluation for full-time permanent employment.
- Location: Aledo, TX
- Schedule: 25 – 45 hours per week
- Compensation: Competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience, with eligibility for benefits upon permanent hire.
